SEE THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE, the first U.S. exhibition of original
drawings by survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings
displayed in the Chapel basement, September 1-30. This haunting
testimony of the only people who have ever experienced the horror of
nuclear warfare is more than a record of the events of August, 1945;
the drawings are deeply personal pleas for peace from the people who
know perhaps better than anyone what the build-up of nuclear arms can
mean. D. Whearley

MEMORANDUM
TO: Faculty
FROM: Carolyn DeSilva
Acting Assistant Provost
RE: Guidelines for Use of the Provost's Professional Papers
Account
This account is to support the attendance by faculty
members at conferences where they are giving papers, leading
discussions, or moderating panels. The purpose of this account
is to supplement, not to replace, the departmental travel
allocation of faculty members; that allocation is still the
primary source faculty members should use for any travel.
Reimbursement from the Provost's Professional Papers Account is
available for up to the full amount (subject to the limitations
below) of the cost of travel to a meeting where a faculty member
is presenting a paper and up to one-half of the amount of the
cost of travel to a meeting where a faculty member is chairing a
panel or leading a discussion.
Since this account has been oversubscribed in each of
the last few years, the guidelines below are being established to
provide for the equitable use of the funds among faculty members.
1. Requests for travel to foreign meetings shall
not exceed $700. Requests for travel to
meetings in the United States shall not exceed
$600.
2. Support from this account should not exceed
(except for foreign travel) the cost for three
days of lodging and meals. This three-day
limit does not apply where a lower air fare
can be obtained by staying more than three days
so that the overall cost of the trip is lowered
by staying more than three days.
(con't.)

Page Two
September 8, 1988
3. Anyone requesting funds from the account must
indicate how he or she will use (or has used)
the regular departmental travel allocation.
4. Any requests beyond the second request in a
fiscal year will not be granted except on a
reimbursement basis (if funds are available)
at the end of the fiscal year after all
requests have been reviewed and acted upon.
5. Where travel funds are granted for the cost
of presenting a paper at a conference, a copy
of this paper must be submitted to me with
the request for reimbursement for travel funds.
This copy will be kept in an archival file in
the Office of the Provost.
The amount of money in the Provost's Professional
Papers Account has been increased in each of the last few years.
We are making a strong effort to support faculty travel for the
purposes of this account. The guidelines above should help
assure that the use of this account is fair.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Faculty Members and Administrators
OK
FROM: Baird Tipson %-•
Acting President and Provost
RE: Attachments to Faculty Minutes
Pursuant to guidelines issued by the Executive
Committee in September of 1985, reports presented at faculty
meetings (either of groups or individuals) will appear in the
minutes of the faculty meeting only if they are presented to the
secretary of the faculty in writing. This memorandum explains
the procedure for presenting written reports to the secretary so
that they will be included with the minutes of the meeting.
Reports important enough to be given at a faculty meeting should,
whenever possible, be attached to the minutes.
The secretary of the faculty has designated the
Provost's Office as the place to which reports should be
presented. Reports to be attached to the faculty minutes must be
in the Provost's Office by noon on the Monday following the
faculty meeting if they are to be included with the minutes.
They must be submitted to the Provost's Office in typewritten
form suitable for attachment to the minutes; reports cannot be
retyped once they are submitted. If the report is not presented
to the Provost's Office by noon on Monday for attachment to the
faculty minutes, the minutes at the most will record that a
report was given. The minutes will not summarize the content of
the report.
Reports and statements made at a faculty meeting, if
they are to be attached to the faculty meeting minutes, must be
attached to the minutes for the meeting at which they are given.
They will not be attached to the minutes of a later meeting.

drawings by survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings
displayed in the Chapel basement, September 1-30. This haunting
testimony of the only people who have ever experienced the horror of

the drawings are deeply personal pleas for peace from the people who
know perhaps better than anyone what the build-up of nuclear arms can
mean. D. Whearley

MEMORANDUM
TO: Faculty
FROM: Carolyn DeSilva
Acting Assistant Provost
RE: Guidelines for Use of the Provost's Professional Papers
Account
This account is to support the attendance by faculty
members at conferences where they are giving papers, leading
discussions, or moderating panels. The purpose of this account
is to supplement, not to replace, the departmental travel
allocation of faculty members; that allocation is still the
primary source faculty members should use for any travel.
Reimbursement from the Provost's Professional Papers Account is
available for up to the full amount (subject to the limitations
below) of the cost of travel to a meeting where a faculty member
is presenting a paper and up to one-half of the amount of the
cost of travel to a meeting where a faculty member is chairing a
panel or leading a discussion.
Since this account has been oversubscribed in each of
the last few years, the guidelines below are being established to
provide for the equitable use of the funds among faculty members.
1. Requests for travel to foreign meetings shall
not exceed $700. Requests for travel to
meetings in the United States shall not exceed
$600.
2. Support from this account should not exceed
(except for foreign travel) the cost for three
days of lodging and meals. This three-day
limit does not apply where a lower air fare
can be obtained by staying more than three days
so that the overall cost of the trip is lowered
by staying more than three days.
(con't.)

September 8, 1988
3. Anyone requesting funds from the account must
indicate how he or she will use (or has used)
the regular departmental travel allocation.
4. Any requests beyond the second request in a
fiscal year will not be granted except on a
reimbursement basis (if funds are available)
at the end of the fiscal year after all
requests have been reviewed and acted upon.
5. Where travel funds are granted for the cost
of presenting a paper at a conference, a copy
of this paper must be submitted to me with
the request for reimbursement for travel funds.
This copy will be kept in an archival file in
the Office of the Provost.
The amount of money in the Provost's Professional
Papers Account has been increased in each of the last few years.
We are making a strong effort to support faculty travel for the
purposes of this account. The guidelines above should help
assure that the use of this account is fair.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Faculty Members and Administrators
OK
FROM: Baird Tipson %-•
Acting President and Provost
RE: Attachments to Faculty Minutes
Pursuant to guidelines issued by the Executive
Committee in September of 1985, reports presented at faculty
meetings (either of groups or individuals) will appear in the
minutes of the faculty meeting only if they are presented to the
secretary of the faculty in writing. This memorandum explains
the procedure for presenting written reports to the secretary so
that they will be included with the minutes of the meeting.
Reports important enough to be given at a faculty meeting should,
whenever possible, be attached to the minutes.
The secretary of the faculty has designated the
Provost's Office as the place to which reports should be
presented. Reports to be attached to the faculty minutes must be
in the Provost's Office by noon on the Monday following the
faculty meeting if they are to be included with the minutes.
They must be submitted to the Provost's Office in typewritten
form suitable for attachment to the minutes; reports cannot be
retyped once they are submitted. If the report is not presented
to the Provost's Office by noon on Monday for attachment to the
faculty minutes, the minutes at the most will record that a
report was given. The minutes will not summarize the content of
the report.
Reports and statements made at a faculty meeting, if
they are to be attached to the faculty meeting minutes, must be
attached to the minutes for the meeting at which they are given.
They will not be attached to the minutes of a later meeting.
